Abstract

The pandemic of the new coronavirus has transformed the world and has had a profound impact on science, medicine, government, and even diplomacy and economics. In particular, the year 2020 will go down in history as the year of two revolutions in vaccine development research. The first is the emergence of a new vaccine called mRNA, and the second is a revolution in the way vaccines are tested in clinical trials.

Never before have vaccines become a "personal matter" for people around the world as they have this time, and new trends are emerging in the fields of basic and clinical research involving not only infectious diseases and immunology, but also toxicology, which is expected to promote the fusion of different fields. On the other hand, looking around the world, there are many countries where people avoid vaccines or vaccinations have not progressed, and Japan is expected to contribute to global health coverage by providing safer and more effective vaccines to the world. In this lecture, we hope to discuss "100 Days Mission to Respond to Future Pandemic Threats" and new developments in post-corona vaccine development research.
